“The membership drive would continue till November 15," Roy told the media.
Roy, who is also the BJP's Assam unit Vice-President, observed that the enrollment in such a big number is an excellent achievement of the party organisations in the state under the leadership of Chief Minister Manik Saha and state party President Rajib Bhattacharjee.
Both Saha and Bhattacharjee as well as the party karyakartas have done a remarkable job to fulfill the target of membership, Roy said, adding that Tripura's name would be equated with big states like Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh and Assam with regard to achieving membership targets set by the party's central leadership.
